Polish Medical Mission invites you to the travel medicine course organized in Krakow: “T4 – Travel, Trauma, Tropics, Tactics. Selected aspects of travel medicine and rescue.” The T4 course is a proprietary program of the Polish Medical Mission developed based on international guidelines, including those of the European Resuscitation Council and the TC3 Committee, as well as PMM’s many years of mission experience. The course is held under the honorary patronage of the Jagiellonian University.
The detailed topics cover behaviors in situations threatening health or life during travel, and exercises are conducted in small groups based on simulation scenarios. The trainers are experts from the Polish Medical Mission with experience gained during medical and stabilization missions. Participants receive a certificate in Polish and English.
The course’s strength lies in its practical aspect, based solely on knowledge essential for working in high-risk conditions, while adhering to safety, evacuation, and life-saving principles. During the intensive workshop part, participants practice skills under the supervision of experienced instructors.
The course is aimed at doctors of all specialties, nurses, midwives, and paramedics who want to improve their skills in extreme medicine and travel medicine.
